noromance, I noticed the Carmen McRae 'Bittersweet which I'm not familiar with. I have the mono Alfie which apparently is sought out in Paris. A record store around the 11h Arrondissement wanted around sixty euros for a mono Alfie. I paid about seven dollars for mine.
holmz, typically no-one but me listens to my hifi, so I'll just get whatever I want. If company stops over, we usually watch BluRay and DVD's; Man With A Movie Camera, People On Sunday, Metropolis, etc...
mksun, those Phil Spector recordings sounded so good coming through the mono am car radio in the sixties however, when playing The Ronettes on my hifi it's a bit different. However, there is a large catalogue attached to the Spector name. Too bad he was such a horrible person.
bdp24, I didn't realize Neil Young recorded anything in mono. I've been wanting to look into the Byrds but there excessive covers of Dylan's material have kept me from going there. Procol Harum I only know from their stealing a Bach melody. Anyway, what Byrds record do you suggest?
